That was me...

But it wasnt a deep puddle...

Now when I drive in the rain I am very cautious...

You can tune around it but it will get better transfer and range in a straight pipe.

Since I'm blow through now I'm buying a little short filter to put on if I know I'm going to get caught in the rain.

i know, but i think 369 hp and 406 lb/ft on a super(f)low dyno was good numbers for 7 lbs of boost!

It's ok I made 516 on 12.5 psi with stock heads and intake.

Hp has nothing to do if it reading could be the best it possibly could be at cruise. Later when you start pushing more boost it might be a little harder to to tune. I made the 598 with maf right before a bend on power pipe, but the crusing could of been better.

the way i look at it is that motor rebuilt is $$$$$ and then no mustang for a while. They now have a ram air under the hood jlt. ill go with that myself....
